Allen is an incredible speaker!!! I could listen to him lecture all day long and he certainly knows his civil war facts

I agree with the idea that it proved that Republican government does not necessary end in anarchy, however the point that slavery would have been "re-instated" ignores the economic realities of the institution. Slavery had no chance in a head-to-head contest with Capitalism; every culture that started embracing Capitalism benefited from the Industrial Revolution, and all began to recognized and institutionalize trade for mutual benefit within their laws. Slavery is antithetical to the trader principle and the concept of individual rights that Capitalism requires. It's more likely that the failure of the Union to destroy slavery would have pushed the conflict further into the future, when technology would have made the inevitable war even more bloody...

Then our famous Scot & the father of modern economics Adam Smith resolutely was opposed to slavery. Of course, we are talking of a different era in humanity.

What a great speech. I highly recommend Dr. Guelzo's newest book on American faith, too. Guelzo is an American treasure. Most and truly.

Professor Guelzo is my favorite American historian and interpreter. This 1 hour lecture explains what happened in 1861 when economics and regional differences clashed with philosophy and practical governance. I love Lincoln and i hate war and what a horrible job he was selected to do for the America he believed in. We should never forget the American Civil War and what it proves about preserving democracy.

First off, slavery would never have been reinstated throughout the western hemisphere had not the Union won. Secondly, he argued that the Union victory prevented anarchy when, in reality, the Union effort to win the war, its’ victory, and the aftermath caused the most anarchistic period in American history. There’s a valid argument to say that secession was a victory for democracy. Read the Declaration of Independence, especially “the right to alter, abolish, and institute new government” part.

I’m really enjoying this, but the title is wrong, it should be something like, “Civil War and the transformation of the United States”. I thought he’d get into the reasons why the war was fought.

A political philosopher, his narrative approaches a sung sermonized story-telling, which formulates his assignment of virtue judging the War history within a context of supporting his world view of a natural morality, irrespective of obvious doubts whether reality conforms to his affirmation of US exceptionalism.

I’m sure the indigenous people that were slaughtered or purposely sickened by the United States, would not consider the 100 years between 1800 to 1900, boring…with or without a civil war. The statement from this history professor that it would have been a boring century without the American civil probably needs to return to the classroom…as a student.

If the question of slave states seceding from a union bent on outlawing long coddled slavery (which had enriched both sides handsomely for decades if not hundreds of years) was considered in the supreme court how would it have been resolved? Slavery, though an odious institution was very much legal at the time. Unconstitutional taking of property rights would result from emancipation legislation. Damages would have been stupendous. The court would likely have had to strike down emancipation. That is why Lincoln stoked the flame of secession and ultimately civil war itself. Through war - he could accomplish emancipation. It was simply a legal work-around/maneuver. There was no other way to abolish slavery and make it stick in the courts?

@westbethkid

There was no need to "stoke" the flame of succession. The expansion of the United States and the economic ramifications of slavery vs. capitalism was inevitable. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war time strategy to win the Civil War, not an end in of itself. The war was fought to preserve the Union. Lincoln says this literally. Though many people in the North thought slavery was terrible, they were probably just as racist as Southerners. That generation were the grandsons of people who fought the Revolutionary war. The Union was the only thing of its kind around the world. They fought to preserve it. Notice that AFTER the Civil War, people spoke of America as a "Nation" Before the Civil War people spoke of America as a "Union" Most people didn't think abolition of slavery was possible---but the Civil War was so bloody and raged for so long, people tried everything to win, and to end it. The abolition of Slavery was a CONSEQUENCE of the Civil War. A good and moral one, but originally people wanted to "Save the Union"

Interesting and important. But Why is he making me remember “Thurston Howell”?

An outstanding lecture and Q @ A Session. I will seek out the works of Prof Guelzo.

1:06:21 [democracy] “is not some fragile flower…it has strength that is drawn from the natural order of things…”

The party of Lincoln today is unrecognizable with regard to Lincoln's theory of a democratic republic.

Outstanding orator, ty, big up By the way, Lincoln had a "walk in spirit" from fourth density (it happens occasionally) who lived out the rest of Lincoln's life and carried forth his mission, which he felt too weak to carry out, starting I believe in 1852. And there's a reference to this in Big Bang Theory where Sheldon says, "Can you imagine how history would have turned out if robots from the future (negative extraterrestrials) became involved in the civil war?" Quite a seemingly strange statement; now you know what it means. It's true. Read The Ra Material.

The democratic foundation concept “Consent of the governed” comes from “made in the image of God”. Deny the latter and lose the prior.

"democratic government would have been shown to be incapable of avoiding anarchy when a minority portion of its people decided they no longer wished to abide by its political direction and claimed a popular sovereign right to withdraw." ---as happened in the Revolution; as detailed as a right of man in the Declaration.

@LeePee-yn7bx states, "Very interesting, but in describing the American 19th century as otherwise uneventful for some reason you omit the completion of the theft of a continent and a genocide." LeePee-yn, you need to change lenses. The Native Americans' and the US government's conflicts with them are barely a blip on the American history seismic meter. The conflict makes for great storytelling and myth-making. Except for the Civil War, the American 19th century was uneventful. People were obsessed with commerce as de Tocqueville points put. Example, if you had been heading west after the Civil War, you would have been more likely to encounter a Mexican, Native American, or Chinese person than a European. Patricia Limerick in 'The Rendezvous Model of Western American History," stresses the view of the West as the most ethnically diverse part of the country (NYTimes, Bernstein, Unsettling the Old West, 1990). Another example of myth, there were no gangs of outlaws rampaging through small towns. Why? Because everyone was well-skilled with firearms. That's an American tradition that's been carried forward to today. Once the railroad connected east and west, the Indian Wars ended. You lament the destruction of the Indian culture. It wasn't destroyed. There was no genocide. If what happened to the Indians had been a genocide, they would have been erased from our history but instead they were celebrated. The US government did its best to preserve Native American culture with their well intended reservation system. Europeans did what they could to assimilate Native American into mainstream culture including creating Indian Schools. All of this seems horrible because of today's postmodern worldview of colonization, hegemony, and oppression. That's your lens. Considering that Native American cultures never invented the wheel, attempts to assimilate/acculturate them into the mainstream might be considered noble and merciful and...successful.

This is why President James Buchanan, Lincoln's predecessor allowed the first seven Southern states to leave in peace.

The Declaration of Causes for Secession of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia all stated that northern opposition to slavery was a principal cause of their secession. The Florida [confederate] constitution applied only to " free white men". The Confederate Constitution also protected slavery. I have not reviewed the declarations, secession ordinances, or constitutions of all the Confederate states But all the ones l have seen make some reference to slavery, Lincoln's opposition to its expansion, his supposed designs for its abolition or northern interference with "our institutions" as reasons for secession. It seems pretty clear to me that slavery was a major motive for secession, and that "state's rights" was code for the right to expand slavery to every state in the Union. I have seen plenty of historical evidence to support this conclusion. Thanks for listening.

The reason that you have to continually give lectures on the causes of the civil war is because you do not want to hear the grievances that plagued the south. The main reason behind this DENIAL is the slavery issue. That cancels any other reason with good reason. Just study how the South was taxed by the feds. The very reason that American pushed the British out. When the South succeeded they opened all of their ports to free trade. That is all it took for the North to invade.

When an issue of the magnitude of unconstitutional taking of property on that scale exists - the fall out will persist for hundreds of years. There was little or no silver lining. Beyond a hungry freedom - slaves received nothing for their lifetimes of toils which developed the textile industry and industrial revolution in the US and Britain. Freed slaves should have received their own sovereign land hold - a sub-nation carved out from 2-4 border states on both sides of the Mason Dixon line. However, Lincoln and the abolitionists did not and could not get the votes to back that up. Instead, we have an assassinated president and our inner cities as they are today.
